CARY, N.C.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Medfusion,
a leading provider of patient experience solutions, today announced the
latest version of its patient experience platform which is the first to
aggregate clinical, scheduling and financial data all in one place from
every major EHR and practice management system. Multiple partners and
clients have moved quickly to take advantage of the platform, including
Dr. Footprint and Blue Laurel. The new technology will be showcased at
the Healthcare Information Management Society and Systems 2018
Conference (HIMSS18).

“As an industry, we have fallen far short when it comes to empowering
patients with useful access to their own data”

Medfusion serves 40,000 providers, 14.5 million patients, and hundreds
of thousands of consumer users and supports over 60 different EMRs and
patient portals, including the largest acute care and ambulatory EHR
systems. New capabilities to be released at HIMSS18 include: billing
aggregation across multiple practice management platforms,
appointment-specific notes, cross platform appointment reminders and
enhanced clinical data aggregation and sharing.

“As an industry, we have fallen far short when it comes to empowering
patients with useful access to their own data,” said Kimberly Labow, CEO
of Medfusion. “Our approach with Medfusion’s Patient Experience Platform
is to bring together all types of patient data, including appointments,
self-scheduling and billing, from all types of EHRs and PMSs. This not
only empowers patients with a complete view of their healthcare
experience, but it also makes it much easier for the clinicians and
researchers they want to engage with, to make that data useful to the
patient.”

Medfusion’s technology is API-enabled so that others can utilize the
technology to advance their causes. At HIMSS18, Medfusion will be
sharing the success of several clients and recent partnerships including:

Dr.
Footprint, a peer-to-peer medical record sharing
company, is using Medfusion’s API to allow patients to collect and share
their health record data, along with their genomic and social data. The
startup anonymizes the data and allows patients to search under aliases
for matches by genetic, procedural or environmental specifications and
then view matches to learn what like-minded or like-treated patients are
doing. “Medfusion's access to over 140 million patients representing the
top medical record vendors across the U.S. healthcare market is what
attracted us to their platform,” said Ed Spiegel, Founder of Dr.
Footprint. “The reach and relative ease of pulling medical data has
enabled our patients to create dynamic medical, genetic and
environmental ‘footprints’ to compare with others as they navigate
complex, rare conditions.”

Blue
Laurel offers a personal health record service to give consumers
access to their health data and quickly check insurance eligibility. The
company is using Medfusion’s APIs to provide users with their medical
record information across various patient portals and provider EHRs. “We
knew Medfusion had an expertise in patient portals that we couldn’t
build from scratch,” said John Caruso, Founder and CEO of Blue Laurel.
“By partnering together, we’ve been able to build a service that helps
patients gather their health information in one place so they are able
to make more informed decisions about their care.”

advantage of these new capabilities, and to see a demo of the patient
experience platform, visit the company at HIMSS18 in Booth #MP29.
